Our Story

Passion: Passion is an intense emotion compelling feeling, enthusiasm, or desire for something.

Erika has a passion for photography & people.

Even at a young age Erika was compelled by and drawn to images created by photographers. Starting with her father and now with the other professionals she meets through her large network of friends & fellow professional photographers, Erika is inspired by the many different ways there are to produce outstanding images.

There is the space between the photographer and a subject. In that space should be warmth and friendship to allow her subjects to feel and express their own personalities. Only when a person is comfortable and relaxed will you truly capture who that person has become. No matter the stage in life you are trying to capture you should have a warm and wonderful experience doing so. Erika will make sure that is the case. You may walk in as a client but you will leave as a friend. Your satisfaction is always guaranteed and your ideas always welcome. As a Certified Professional Photographer Erika has chosen to uphold the highest standards of the professional photography industry and to share with you her take on life's beautiful moments that happen everyday.

Erika is consistently learning and discovering new ideas for her art and business. Erika became a Certified Professional Photographer in the summer of 2010. A grand distinction only a handful of photographers hold in the Des Moines Metro area. She is a proud member of Professional Photographers of Iowa and Professional Photographers of America. She also volunteers time & talent to Pure Fashion, March of Dimes and many activities/fund raisers at her boys' schools.
Erika sincerely loves people and "capturing life's moments"!
